Job Description

At Verstela, we don’t just fill jobs—we create success stories for the talent, clients and communities we serve.

Our guiding principle is simple: we are successful when we help others become successful.

Year after year, we're named to ClearlyRated's Best of Staffing list, a testament to our ongoing commitment to service excellence and customer satisfaction.

Position Overview:

If you’re energized by building relationships, opening doors, and turning a cold prospect into a real business conversation, this could be a great opportunity for you.

As a Business Development Representative, you’ll help drive growth for our West Chicago Verstela market by identifying prospective clients, starting conversations, and scheduling discovery meetings for our sales and branch leadership teams.

This is a highly active, outbound sales role. You’ll spend your time making calls, connecting with prospects through email and social media, visiting businesses in person, and finding creative ways to build relationships. Success in this role comes from consistency, curiosity, resilience, and a willingness to do what it takes to get the conversation started.

You will:

Prospect and identify new business opportunities within your assigned market.
Initiate conversations with business leaders to schedule appointments for our branch teams.
Visit prospective clients in person through regular market canvassing and drop-ins.
Find creative ways to provide value and build relationships
Meet daily and weekly targets in a rewarding environment.

What Success Looks Like

Your primary focus is creating qualified opportunities for the local sales team. Success will be measured by your ability to consistently meet weekly new client appointment goals, generate strong prospect engagement, and schedule meetings that turn into meaningful sales conversations.

What We Offer:

Growth Opportunities: Regular check-ins with your manager, a supportive team environment and opportunity for advancement.
Steady Schedule: Enjoy a stable Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm schedule.
Team Spirit: Enjoy a supportive team atmosphere where individual and collective achievements are celebrated.
Full Benefits Package: Medical, dental, and vision coverage, a Health Savings Account, virtual care, and life and long-term disability insurance.
Additional Perks: Paid time off, office snacks, birthdays off, and paid community service time

You have:

Sales and/or Metrics Experience: At least 1 year of experience in a metrics driven role (retail, hospitality, SDR or outbound sales are all encouraged to apply)
Go-Getter Attitude: Eager to build rapport with prospective clients, call and drop-in to achieve goals.
Resilience: You know it takes some “no’s “ to get to a yes
Tech Savviness: Proficient in MS Word, and Outlook, and quick to learn new software.
Communication Pro: Strong verbal and written communication skills to engage effectively with decision-makers.

You’ll Thrive Here If You Are:

Competitive and goal-oriented, but also relationship-driven. You enjoy the challenge of getting someone’s attention, finding the right approach, and creating an opportunity where one didn’t exist before. You’re comfortable picking up the phone, walking into a business, trying something different when the first approach doesn’t work, and staying focused on the end goal.

Most importantly, you bring a “Whatever It Takes to Win” mindset and enjoy being part of a team that celebrates results.
